Approvals

Creation advised by @thockin

[nikhita]

@mcluseau since this would be a staging repo, this will also need approval from sig-architecture.

Creation advised by @thockin

/assign @thockin
to ack on approval for the record

[mcluseau]

@nikhita thanks for your answer, on the "staging" part, it's what looked like my idea, but it's incubating, ie publishing the code in the k8s realm so others can contribute, until we reach the next stage.

A staging repo, as fart as I understand, exists in k/k/staging/src/k8s.io/... - I do not think that's what we want here.

As for names, I am terrible at naming things but I can filter some out :)

"knid" is too close to "kind"
"ksdn" carries SDN connotation that I don't think we want.
"kube-proxy-ng" is a little long, but clear. I don't like "kube-proxy" as a name because it's really not a proxy.

Throwing some suggestions:

epsel - the endpoints selector
kp2
kpng - pronounced "kaping"
kpow - kupe-proxy object watcher
seppi - service/endpoint preprocessing interface

brainstorm!

(Drive-by comment to say I like kpng and kpow. 🙃)

[mcluseau]

kest - kubernetes endpoints & services transport (pronounced "quest")
knest - k8s network endpoitns & services transport (fun too, matures the eggs to produce the final flying thing)

[mcluseau]

ksept - works too (service endpoints transport), where sept is seven in french, and the number of edges in the k8s logo

[mcluseau]

seems like kpng is the winner here so let's go for it ;-)

[thockin]

I can live with kpng - it's not like we can't change it as we evolve it.

[dims]

+1 to kpng

@mcluseau is the repo meant to contain code migrated from https://github.com/mcluseau/kube-proxy2?

If so, can you update the kube-proxy2 repo as per https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/github-management/kubernetes-repositories.md#rules-for-donated-repositories?

[mcluseau]

@nikhita ok wilco and notify here when done, thanks :)

[mcluseau]

ok, I think I've gone through the checklist

[nikhita]

@mcluseau Can you also update the template files to match the repo? For instance, these files would need update - README.md, OWNERS, OWNERS_ALIASES (this can be deleted if not needed), and SECURITY_CONTACTS.

[mcluseau]

ohhh... ok... I'm responsible of those too now, that's something real 😱 ;-)
(updated to a basic version of those files)

[nikhita]

@mcluseau if you are in the OWNERS file, you also need to be a member of the @kubernetes-sigs GitHub organization to be able to approve PRs.

Can you create an issue to request membership? Detailed instructions are here - https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/community-membership.md#member

/milestone v1.21

[nikhita]

@mcluseau I think we're good to go ahead with the migration!

Can you move https://github.com/mcluseau/kube-proxy2 to https://github.com/kubernetes-purgatory? (you should have an invite)

I'll need admin access to the repo to be able to migrate it to k-sigs, but GitHub doesn't allow adding admins to user-owned repos so we'll need to migrate it to a dummy org first.

[mcluseau]

Hi @nikhita , yes the time has come :) I pushed under the voted name (kpng): https://github.com/kubernetes-purgatory/kpng

[nikhita]

Repo has been migrated - https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kpng

Also created:

• Add GitHub teams for kpng repo #2598 - to add GitHub teams to grant access
• sig-network: add kpng repo community#5659 - to add the repo to sigs.yaml

Once both PRs merge, this issue can be closed.

[nikhita]

All PRs have merged and teams have been granted access. Closing.
